Guys, Ever wonder why women like to travel to the potty in pairs?


Here is one theory:


Guess you'll never really know.

iPhone = iEnvy

Ben and I still live in the stone ages a bit.

No home phone.

No cable.

No dvr. :(

No bells.

No whistles.

No money. (downside to only having one parent have a job that makes money)


So when Ben got a new iPhone from his company yesterday I fell in love. Of course I have seen other people's iPhones before, but never got to play on one for long. Was thinking about maybe donating blood every month to pay the data package, but thought better of it. Now I still can't wait for Ben to get home every night... but now its so I can play on his phone.

Clearing the air

In response to my "true friend" blog.... I may have over reacted. I guess sometimes things don't seem as they are. I can admit that perhaps fumes and miscommunication got the best of me. Pardon.

Lasts

Wow, lots of Ch-Ch-Changes for Miss M over the past week.
Last day of the 3 year old class. (Maddie, Madelyn, Madison)

Last day with Maddie in class. (Why does my child insist on wearing fake pearls everywhere?)



Last day of cheer leading. No pics. Uh-oh. It was a crazy chaotic class.
Last day of swimming lessons. She did great!


Last play date of the summer. We picnicked with Lila & Mckenna... well that was a first! ;)




More firsts to come!

A true friend...

I once read a quote that said "A true friend stabs you in the front"

Ok, ok who am I kidding? I did not read it. I saw it on the credits of Can't Hardly Wait. (Why do I always have to give these self admissions)

When first seeing this quote I thought it was was comical. The older I get, the more I get it.

Today I was slapped straight in the back by a person I would have never seen it coming from. It could be that I am overly sensitive, but I would so much rather hear a little criticism to my face than have it delivered from three people removed. It was about something as stupid as paint colors... I could not care less about the dang paint. It was the route of delivery. That is what hurt my feelings. A little heads up that it may not be ok to paint would have been nicer than sending someone else in unwarned.

All this to say...passive aggressiveness stinks. Seriously. It may be easier for the confronting person but it creates a lot more hurt feelings that it would have been up front.

Next time you have an issue, grow a pair, tell the person, move on like grown ups.
Thanks, and that is all.
